To'
Err
Is
Humanizing'TMIf
You
Are
The
Right
By
JOHANNA
GRIMES
UNC-CH
News
Bureau
CHAPEL
HILL
Some
psychologists
say
that
people
are
more
attracted
to
a
highly
competent
official
who
blunders
than
to
one
who
does
not.
But
an
article
in
UNC's
journal,
"Representative
Research
hi
Social
Psychology,"
sheds
new
light
on
the
matter.
The
blunder
attraction
is
true,
it
seems,
only
when
males
are
judging
males
and
to
a
lesser
extent,
when
females
are
judging
females.
Women
are
not
attracted-to
blundering
males,
nor
men
to
blundering
females.
In
her
article,
"To
Err
is
Humanizing:
But
Sex
Makes
a
Difference,"
Kay
Deaux
of
Purdue
University
presents
data
on
male-female
eval-
uations
of
male-female
pratfalls,
a
study
significant
because
both
male
and
female
reactions
were
included.
She
also
warns
psychologists
against
the
practice
of
using
only
male
subjects
in
personality
and
social
psychology
studies.
"Particularly
Â·
in
the
area
of
social
behavior,
it
would
seem
that
any
assumption
that
the
sexes
respond
in
identical
fashion
is
hazardous,"
she
says.
Miss
Deaux
obtained
her
data
from
193
students
who
watched
filmed
interviews
of
a
male
and
a
female
applicant
for
an
important
university
position.
Each
s
u
b
j
e
c
t
watched
one
of
eight
possible
tapes,
representing
all
combinations
of
competence
level
(high-low),
pratfall
(absent-
present),
and
sex
'of
the
job
applicant
(male-female).
The
students
then
answered
questions
that
determined
their
attraction
to
the
applicant
whose
interview
they
watched.
Results
indicated
that
each
sex
will
prefer
the
person
who
blunders
only
when
that
person
is
a
member
of
their
own
sex.
And,
this
effect
is
true
for
men
primarily
within
the
high
competence
level,
while
it
is
sharper
for
women
'within
the
low
competence
level.
Why?
It
could
be,
says
Miss
Deaux,
that
an
individual
more
readily
identified
wich
a
member
of
the
same
sex,
that
a
person
may
be
less
tolerant
of
error
to
the
extent
that
he
cannot
as
fully
empathize
with
the
opposite-
sexed
person,
or
that
a
person
holds
higher
expectations
for
the
opposite
sex
and
that
these
idealized
images
cannot
incorporate
evidence
of
a
blunder.
She
then
comments
on
the
practice
of
using
'generalizations
from
one
sex
for
both,
"while
numerous
areas-
of
research
are
probably
not,
subject
to
sharp
sex
distinctions,
it
is
suggested
that
such
areas
as
interpersonal
attraction
are
highly
influenced
by
Interactions
of
sex
of
.subject
and
sex
of
other.
.
.Demonstrating
that
a
phenomenon
found
to
be
true
-in
:
one
sex
may
not
be
true
of
the:'-other
sex
does
not
necessitate;a
total
unheaval
nor
a
witch"
hunt
by
crusading.'liberattbnists.
On
the
other
hand,
it
is
"clear
that
questions
should
be
posed
separately
for
the
two
sexes
before
assuming
equivalence."
Survey
Shows
That
Teenage
Girls
Are
On
The
Go
NEW
YORK
--
America's
teenage
girls
are
on
the
go
from
California
to
Corsica
with
more
than
nine
out
of
ten
planning
at
least
one
major
trip
this
year,
according
to
a
travel
survey
conclucteu
by
Seventeen
Magazine.
The
report,
based
on
1,257
replies
from
members
of
the
magazine's
Consumer
Panel,
revealed
that:
--93.4
per
cent
expect
to
travel
this
year
with
nearly
one-quarter
planning
their
vacations
outside
the
United
States.
--83

teenage

one

r-70

traveled
with
their

17.3

from
recent
years.

and

Railroad

accounted
for
.'only:'1.7

Â·
Even
though.
the
girls
are
on
the
go,
parents
pay'for
66.7
per
cent,of
the
trips
while
it's
a
joint
financial
venture
for
21.6
per
cent.
Only
12.8
per
cent
said
they
paid
all
costs
themselves.
,
And
-where
will
they
be
going?
For
trips
in
this
country
California
and
Florida
were
exact
percentage
choices
(18.5
per
cent)
for
vacation
plans
this
year.
New
York,
Texas
and
Colorado
were
other
favorites.
Europe
was
the
first
cnoice
for
foreign
travel
followed
by
Canada
and
Mexico.
With
these
destinations
in
mind,
plane
travel
is
planned
by
45
per
cent
of.
.those
responding.
The
teenagers
are
sold
on
jet-setting,'
giving
the
airlines
"excellent"
or
"good"
ratings
on
speed,
safety,
courtesy
and
comfort.
Airline
food
is
another
story,
though,
with
40;4
per
cent
rating'
it
no
better
than
."neutral."
Interestingly,
among
those
who
took
a
major
airiine
trip
last
year,
74.8
per
cent
did
not
use
the
lower
:youth;fare"
available
from
most
scheduled
airlines.
.An
airline
spokesman
explained'
that
"youthjares"
are
sold
on
a
standby
basis
and
most
teens
obviously
prefer
a
guaranteed
flight.
.-,..Travel
agents
were
^consulted
.by
only
,17.8
percent
but
no
matter
how
their
plans
were
made,
36.3
per
cent
said
they
carried
traveler's
checks.
And
foi
almost
80
per
cent,
traveling
-was
done
in
the
summer
months.

no

where
you
go,
there's
still

Making
out,
as
has
been
mentioned
here
before,
is
a
rather
.
elastic
term.
I
trust
that
what
you
and
your
boy
friend
are
doing
is
something
short
of
intercourse.
Whatever
it
is,
it
is
up
to
you
--
now
that
you
see
the
foolishness
and
danger
of
it
--
to
stop
it.
Quit
going
to
the
woods,
or

Icoely
place,
with
him.
If
necessary,
break
up
with
him.

(Q.)
I
am
very
unhappy
because
I
have

I'm
sending
you
a

of
myself
so
that
maybe
you
can
give
me
a
few
tips
on
how
to
improve
my
appearance.
I'm

it
